Masters and Grad sceme Clash

I have just received a S&T summer analyst role at a BB. The plan is to convert this offer and start the FT role in 2024.

I am in my third year at uni in an MSCi Mathematics course. However, I would prefer to convert this into a BSc course and do something more useful to me (than pure maths), e.g. a Computational Finance MSc. However, these masters tend to be 12 months long - ending in September 2024. The FT role would start in July 2024. There would then be a 2-3 month clash period, where I would be starting the grad scheme, and at the same time, ending the Masters. 

So my question is, should I just do the MSCi Mathematics to avoid this clash? Or does anyone have experience with navigating this kind of situation? I don't believe the BB is flexible with start dates for the grad scheme.

Thanks in advance!

Right that makes sense thank you. Yeah it seems that there is not much value in doing a masters as opposed to just starting the grad scheme straight after the summer. Also, the idea of an internship and dissertation at the same time sounds (unnecessarily) awful hahaha.
